Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Kirith Entwistle and Jonathan Reynolds

Thursday 12th June 2025 Commons Chamber

[Jonathan Reynolds]

I am concerned by the figures the hon. Gentleman raises; if he writes to me, I will look into that immediately. We have taken extensive action to sanction not just individuals, but the shadow fleet, as it is described, transporting Russian fossil fuels, and are willing to take any action necessary.

[Kirith Entwistle (Bolton North East) (Lab)]

Yesterday, the Dad Shift campaign organised hundreds of dads to come to Parliament to campaign for better paternity leave. Does the Secretary of State agree that better paternity leave can give dads more security to spend more time with their babies, support the development of children and help gender balance in the workplace? Will he tell the House whether the issue will be covered in the upcoming parental leave review?
